NUE: An Integrated Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education Program at the University of New Mexico

在Zayd C.Leseman博士的指导下，新墨西哥大学工程专业的纳米技术本科教育(NUE)项目名为“NUE：新墨西哥大学多学科综合纳米技术本科教育项目”，其目标是通过实践方法教育新墨西哥大学的本科生有关纳米科学和纳米技术(NS&amp；NT)的历史和现状，以便为21世纪培养有见识的公民和有竞争力的劳动力。为实现这一目标，将开发四门新课程，并在现有课程中引入三个有关纳米技术的新单元。该项目将通过在该领域设立一个集中点，将纳米技术制度化地纳入UNM-SOE的课程。在领导这项工作的两个UNM系之间，机械工程(ME)和电气与计算机工程(European)，超过328名本科生将接触到NS&NT材料，其中包括相当数量的西班牙裔和美洲原住民学生。此外，K-12可共享内容对象(SCO)将由构建它们的少数族裔本科生开发和展示，合作PI将展示每年2至4个STEM教育者研讨会开发的NS&ANP；NT材料的组成部分，并向参与者展示如何将这些内容应用于STEM高中课程。联合PIs还计划在该计划的过程中影响大约100名教师，他们反过来将影响当地/农村公立学校和新墨西哥州美洲原住民保留地的数百名学生。

The goal of this Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program at the University of New Mexico, entitled "NUE: An Integrated Multidisicplinary Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education Progarm at the University of New Mexico", under the direction of Dr. Zayd C. Leseman, is to educate undergraduate students at UNM about the history and current state of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NS&NT) via hands-on approaches in order to produce an informed citizenry and competitive work force for the 21st century. To achieve this goal four new courses will be developed and three new modules on nanotechnology will be introduced into existing courses. This project will institutionalize nanotechnology into UNM-SOE's curriculum by creating a concentration in this area. Between the two UNM departments leading this effort, Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), more than 328 undergraduate students will be exposed to the NS&NT material including a significant number of Hispanic and Native Americans students. In addition, K-12 Shareable Content Objects (SCOs) will be developed and presented by the minority undergraduate students who constructed them and the co-PIs' will present components of the NS&NT material developed at 2 to 4 STEM Educator Workshops per year and show the participants how to adapt these into STEM high school courses. The co-PIs also plan to impact approximately 100 teachers over the course of this program who in turn will impact several hundred students at local/rural public schools and from New Mexico's Native American Reservations.
